Apartheid South Africans used to say all the time that South Africa was "the only democracy in Africa."

They would herald South Africa's High Court decisions such as those nullifying racist state laws, as evidence of their democracy!

Sound familiar? https://t.co/EwaG70D8IY

[Dr. Sabreena Ghaffar-Siddiqui @sabreenaGS]

Blonde-haired, blue-eyed white people from Ukraine were celebrated for making home-made Molotov cocktails to defend their land, but the brown Arab Muslim, the Iranian, the Afghan, is far too “uncivilised” to have the right to resist. Their resistance is “barbaric” because it comes from an inherently “violent” culture.

The selective application of international law and one’s right to defend themselves from illegal occupation and colonial violence has been revealed to be a complete contradiction in the west, and is no doubt infuriating.

But we need to also understand how these “resistance” narratives are processed in communities.

These narratives do not stay on our screens. They shape how entire communities see themselves.
When Indigenous, Black, and other racialised peoples repeatedly see their histories, struggles, cultures, and resistance framed as dangerous, irrational, or inherently violent, many begin to internalise those messages.

Some distance themselves from their own identities in search of safety, acceptance, or legitimacy.

Others carry a deep, unspoken rage born from exclusion, dispossession, and the constant demand to prove their humanity.

When people are disconnected from their roots, denied dignity, and taught to be ashamed of where they come from, they will still search for belonging. It’s a basic human need to feel a sense of community.

The question is whether we create spaces that nurture healing, identity, and justice, or leave them vulnerable to finding belonging in places that exploit their pain.

If 9 Israelis had been burnt alive yesterday, they’d have called it a barbaric & savage antisemitic massacre.

When Israel burns alive 9 Palestinians to death, they call it a ceasefire.

A girl steals baby formula from a shop and goes to jail.
Michelle Mone steals £200m and nothing happens.
THAT'S two tier justice...

One of the biggest parasites and a vicious bully. We must abolish the House of Lords and Royalty.

“Scaffolder who killed innocent Saudi student by stabbing him in the neck is jailed for over 22 years.”

This is what happens when you stir up hatred — innocent people of all origins are killed senselessly.

Let that sink in and never vote Reform

@DrPamGosal Legal Aid is one of the cornerstones of a civilised justice system. No one should be tried without legal counsel and provided that the same criteria are used to assess eligibility, what's the problem? I do think that there ought to be a way to look at assets in the longer term.

@danielanadj77 Very true. Even amongst my British friends who did not vote to Leave, many of them struggle to identify as European and have this chip on their shoulder about sovereignty and "being told what to do". British exceptionalism comes in many guises.

How on earth is this an independent person?

John Mann is funded secretly through his company 'Suilven Communications Ltd' by Zionist interests such as EMET Foundation, Community Security Trust and Lionel Black Charitable Trust.
The company funds him and his wife, Jo White MP, who is Vice-Chair of Labour Friends of Israel.

Is this the best World Cup team photo of all time?

Bravo, Norway 🇳🇴⚔️

@SangitaMyska @ZackPolanski @ZacGoldsmith ZG is a totally brainwashed, Zionist-supporting vile individual. Plenty like him amongst the Tories.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

You can't disagree with this.

@DrPamGosal Ideology and populism are now more prevalent in the UK than actual law and science. We have MPs who don't seem to understand the distinction between law and guidance, so the rot starts at the top.

[Rustam Roy @_RustamRoy]

@JoolsJuevans The Unions are not fit for purpose if they let ideology dictate their actions. We saw this with Brexit as well...people like Mike Lynch, e.g.. This is yet another example.

[Yvonne Ridley 4 Glasgow @yvonneridley]

Lord Mann is deranged. What should we ban next? Poppies? Ukrainian flag pins? Legislation made in haste is bad legislation and I hope Jim Mackey, chief executive of NHS England, realises that. We won't be doing this crazy stuff in Scotland @scottishpsc - not without a fight, anyway @micknapier .

[Rustam Roy @_RustamRoy]

We need to top pandering to the prejudiced whims of this organisation. This is the UK and not Israel.

[Wokerati Marty @WokeratiMarty]

These Polish guys at the Reform riots in Southampton clearly don’t realise Brexit was about getting rid of them.

Still, they’re all best pals when it comes to hating people with brown skin.

Ban Ki-moon, then secretary-general of the United Nations, commented on how, in his visits to some of the most forgotten areas of the world, there was a common factor: the presence of Cuban doctors.

“They are always the first to arrive and the last to leave.”

@RichardBurgon @Londonlife44 Not if Dear Leader and Labour's cabal of Israeli funded MPs has anything to day about it.
